WHO are you?

Alassia NewShips Management Inc.

WHAT do you do and why is seafarers’ welfare important to you?

Our Company’s roots go back to the establishment of Alassia Steamship Company Ltd. in 1965. The business has always aspired to offer risk-averse, high-quality ship management services and to build strong relationships with top class counterparties.

Our mission is to combine experience with innovation in creating long term relationships with corporate partners and with motivated, professional and well-trained seafarers and shore personnel, while proactively promoting safety at sea, protection of human life and of the environment.

Thus, we proceed fully equipped to provide holistic services to the maritime industry, with an innovative mindset and sustainable solutions, ready to face the environmental challenges ahead.

One of our core business element is our human element ashore and on board. Our main scope is to have a competent, healthy and loyal pool of seafarers. The welfare on board for our seafarers is essential in order for our colleagues to be healthy (physically and mentally).

WHY are you a member of ISWAN?

The work of ISWAN worldwide assists us to increase awareness on board the vessels regarding mental and physical health which should be a priority for every one of us especially after the problems that covid pandemic caused. The ‘SHIP’ (Seafarers’ Health Information Programme) and ‘SIM’ (Social Interaction Matters) is an important guide and assist us to everyday crew management. Through our membership we will have access to more information and assistance in order to be able to improve ourselves every day.
